Super Inspiring Visit

Our weeklong stopover in Melbourne, Australia was super inspiring. There is truly nothing more wonderful than to be in the association of saintly devotees engaged 24 hours daily in hearing and chanting the glories of the Supreme Lord and serving the Supreme Lord. The atheists, of course, will say that we are a bunch of nuts worshipping a God that does not exist. But when we ask them to give even one example in all of history when something came out of nothing, they are totally defeated. We know that that there is a cause for existence and that the cause is the most beautiful, loving, powerful, and intelligent person in all of existence. That person has unlimited names, unlimited qualities, and unlimited pastimes. And to reconnect with Him in love is the perfection of our existence. We know this is a fact because we are tasting it at every minute.

The Secret of Rapid Spiritual Progress

Answers According to Vedic Wisdom

Question: Symptom of Being on the Right Path?

Dear Gurudeva,

How do we know that a person is evolving spiritually? Is there anything a person experiences when he is on the right path of spirituality?

Deepest Regards,

Sonali S. Shinde


Answer: Heart Melts in Love of God

From: Auckland, New Zealand

My Dear Sonali,

Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

When a person is becoming more and more attracted to Krishna and less and less attracted to the material world he is making solid spiritual advancement.

Such a person's heart melts in feelings of love of God when he chants the Lord's holy names:

Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare
Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare

हरे कृष्ण हरे कृष्ण कृष्ण कृष्ण हरे हरे ||
हरे राम हरे राम राम राम हरे हरे||

I hope this meets you in the best of health and in an ecstatic mood.

Your ever well-wisher,

Sankarshan Das Adhikari

The Little Sparrow Who Conquered the Ocean

Image
In his purport to Bhagavad-gita, Chapter 6, Text 24 Srila Prabhupada wonderfully teaches us the power of determinations by telling us the story of the little sparrow who conquered the ocean: "As for determination, one should follow the example of the sparrow who lost her eggs in the waves of the ocean. A sparrow laid her eggs on the shore of the ocean, but the big ocean carried away the eggs on its waves. The sparrow became very upset and asked the ocean to return her eggs. The ocean did not even consider her appeal. So the sparrow decided to dry up the ocean. She began to pick out the water in her small beak, and everyone laughed at her for her impossible determination. The news of her activity spread, and at last Garuda, the gigantic bird carrier of Lord Visnu, heard it. He became compassionate toward his small sister bird, and so he came to see the sparrow. Garuda was very pleased by the determination of the small sparrow, and he promised to help. Thus Garuda at once asked t

Heart Melting Reunion with Amarendra and Gayatri

Image
On Friday 26 June 2015 I was blessed with the greatest good fortune of meeting with two of the dearest devotees of my entire life, His Grace Amarendra Prabhu and his good wife, Srimati Gayatri devi dasi. I am eternally indebted to these great souls for how much they helped me in my spiritual life when I was a young devotee. When I was young brahmacari monk in 1973 I joined with the two of them in Gainesville, Florida. We were a three person preaching center, and they were just like a mother and father to me. I had so many wonderful Krishna conscious experiences in their association that I can hardly begin to describe them here. But at least may it suffice for me to say for now that Gayatri taught me what it means to be a soft-hearted devotee of the Lord and she gave me my first cooking lesson, teaching me how to make cauliflower pakoras, and Amarendra taught me the art of how to preach strongly, intelligently, and coolly to defeat opposing arguments. Recently Gayatri almost died. But
